About this book
The Day of the Triffids is a post-apocalyptic novel written in 1951 by the English science fiction author John Wyndham. Although Wyndham had already published other novels, this was the first published under the John Wyndham pen-name. It established him as an important writer, and remains his best known novel. When Bill Masen wakes up blindfolded in hospital there is a bitter irony
in his situation. Carefully removing his bandages, he realizes that he
is the only person who can see: everyone else, doctors and patients
alike, have been blinded by a meteor shower. Now, with civilization in
chaos, the triffids - huge, venomous, large-rooted plants able to
'walk', feeding on human flesh - can have their day. The Day of the
Triffids , published in 1951, expresses many of the political concerns
of its time: the Cold War, the fear of biological experimentation and
the man-made apocalypse. However, with its terrifyingly believable
insights into the genetic modification of plants, the book is more
relevant today than ever before.
